"INTIMATE & FULLY REALIZED"
July 28, 2026
"A Southern Man is his most intimate and fully realized work to date. Rather than leaning on familiar Southern stereotypes, the album offers a compassionate portrait of the people, history, and contradictions that shaped him, finding grace in both the beauty and the brokenness."

"REFLECTIVE AND AUTHENTIC"
"LANDSCAPES OF THE SOUL"
March 15, 2017
"Angels Falling captures such a reflective and authentic feel as it flows from song to song with a sense of contemplation; it's infectious and brave enough to invite the listener to the album's inner heart-chamber. Angels Falling creates a dream-like sense of beauty, as Chesney describes the pain, sorrow and risks we all take when we go into intimate relationships.
...
Angels Falling presents an artist who has fully grown into the craft of songwriting as a poet, a singer, a thinker, and a recording artist. With a gentle country feel, much of the album is a tip-of-the-hat to the legendary Hank Williams. If Townes, Guy and Hank were with us today, I'd imagine they would invite RJ Chesney into a guitar pull. If so, it is in this company where RJ Chesney belongs."
